Platypush comes with an intentionally thin core that dispatches messages and events over Redis, and its power comes from the high number of integrations it provides. It's up to the user to decide the pick the use case and use the appropriate extensions.

Extensions may come with optional sets of additional dependencies, and they can be easily installed through pip extras. The documentation also provides the required dependencies for each integration.

It's very easy to create pieces of logic that run some custom actions when an event is triggered. Just drop a Python script into ~/.config/platypush/scripts, or create a YAML snippet into your config.yaml.

The interface of the available events is also provided on the documentation, as well as the methods exposed by each plugin and its parameters.
